So this WAS a drill today, right? Part of the joint “emergency preparedness” exercise announced last week

2/5/18#kiheiWhen a signalized intersection along our Pi’ilani Hwy has an outage, we are used to seeing MPD out controlling that intersection, but this morning at Ohukai Rd, that scenario of the blinking light had at least ten guys there. This announcement was released last week:
